Torati 27
1 Musa na wazee wa Israeli waliwaamuru watu na kusema, “Zishikeni amri zote ninazowaamuru leo.
And Moses and [the] elderly of Israel command the people, saying, “Keep all the command which I am commanding you today;
2 Katika siku mtakapopita juu ya Yordani kwenye nchi ambayo Yahwe Mungu wako anawapatia, mnapaswa kutengeneza mawe kiasi makubwa na kuyachapa kwa lipu.
and it has been, in the day that you pass over the Jordan to the land which your God YHWH is giving to you, that you have raised up great stones for yourself, and plastered them with plaster,
3 Mnatakiwa kuyaandika juu yake maneno yote ya sheria hii pale mtakapovuka; ili muweze kwenda katika nchi ambayo Yahwe Mungu wako anawapatia, nchi inayotiririka kwa maziwa na asali, kama Yahwe, Mungu wa mababu zenu, alivyowaahidi.
and written on them all the words of this law in your passing over, so that you go into the land which your God YHWH is giving to you—a land flowing with milk and honey, as YHWH, God of your fathers, has spoken to you.
4 Mtakapovuka juu ya Yordani, yapangane haya mawe ninayowaamuru leo, juu ya mlima wa Ebali, na myapige kwa lipu.
And it has been, in your passing over the Jordan, you raise up these stones which I am commanding you today, in Mount Ebal, and you have plastered them with plaster,
5 Hapo mnapaswa kujenga dhabahu kwa Yahwe Mungu wako, dhabahu la mawe; lakini hautakiwi kuinua chombo cha chuma kujenga mawe.
and built an altar there to your God YHWH, an altar of stones; you do not wave iron over them.
6 Unatakiwa kujenga dhabahu ya Yahwe Mungu wako kwa mawe yasiyokuwa na kazi; unatakiwa kutoa dhabihu ya kuteketeza juu yake kwa Yahwe Mungu wako,
You build the altar of your God YHWH [with] complete stones, and have caused burnt-offerings to ascend on it to your God YHWH,
7 na utatoa sadaka ya pamoja na utakula pale; utafurahia mbele ya Yahwe Mungu wako.
and sacrificed peace-offerings, and eaten there, and rejoiced before your God YHWH,
8 Utaandika juu ya mawe maneno yote ya sheria hii kwa wazi.
and written on the stones all the words of this law, well engraved.”
9 Musa na makuhani, Walawi, waliongea na Waisraeli wote na kusema, “Nyamazeni na sikilizeni Israel: Leo mmekuwa watu wa Yahwe Mungu wenu.
And Moses speaks—the priests, the Levites, also—to all Israel, saying, “Keep silent and hear, O Israel: This day you have become a people for your God YHWH;
10 Mnapaswa basi kutii sauti ya Yahwe Mungu wenu na kutii amri na sheria zake ambazo ninawaamuru leo.”
and you have listened to the voice of your God YHWH, and done His commands and His statutes which I am commanding you today.”
11 Musa aliwaamuru watu siku hiyo hiyo na kusema,
And Moses commands the people on that day, saying,
12 “Makabila haya yanapaswa kusimama katika mlima Gerizimu kuwabariki watu baada ya nyinyi kuvuka Yordani; Simeoni, Lawi, Judah, Isakari, Yusufu na Benyamini.
“These stand on Mount Gerizzim to bless the people, in your passing over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin.
13 Haya ni makabila ambayo lazima yasimame juu yam lima Ebali kutamka laana: Rubeni, Gadi, Asheri, Zabuloni, Dan na Naftali.
And these stand, for the reviling, on Mount Ebal: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.”
14 Walawi watajibu na kusema kwa wanamume wote wa Israeli kwa sauti kubwa:
And the Levites have answered and said to every man of Israel [with] a loud voice:
